Nicole's journey to land use law started in an unexpected place—the retail floor of a Fortune 500 company in high school and college. Working her way into their Real Estate Asset Management department, Nicole discovered my passion for untangling complex property issues. That hands-on business experience taught her to see real estate challenges from the client's perspective first, legal issues second.
Nicole started my practice at one of Florida’s largest law firms where she counseled developers, investors and property owners on land use entitlements and property rights protection. A significant portion of her practice involves counseling clients interested in developing affordable and workforce housing, particularly in relation to Florida’s Live Local Act. As one of Florida's go-to attorneys on the Live Local Act, Nicole helps developers unlock unprecedented land use and ad valorem property tax opportunities and advocate for them before local and state governments. Coming from a family of teachers, she believes in Live Local Act’s mission of providing housing to our essential workers.
But her practice goes beyond any single statute. From presenting land use applications to local elected officials, to advocating before the Florida Legislature on critical legislation changes, to defending or challenging development decisions in court, land use law requires a diverse skillset. No projects or local governments are the same, but Nicole's ability to look for creative solutions, understand complex development issues and bring a fresh perspective to every matter remains the same.

Nicole also worked for the same company in its retail operations throughout high school and college. After law school, Nicole was an associate at Stearns Weaver for five years.
